Soft heart

With my soft heart

Dont ask me to go into this world

With its hard hearted ways

And just suck it up

When ever did tough love

Bring us anything but pain

Adding to the feeling we are flawed

For being

Both

Sensitive and gentle?

I just don’t believe those lies

Any more

When I hear of how you are suffering

And they withhold

Well maybe it is a lesson for you

To embrace and nurture your tender heart

To know that the love you most long for and the understanding too

Must first be given from within

How long can we beg with empty hearts and hands

For scraps

Forced into the situation

Of pleading for what should be a given

Not robbed or withheld or stolen from

So don’t tell me to

Toughen up

To a brutal insensitive world

Where those who really see into the heart of things

Are led to believe we are crazy
